The phrase "assay the pattern of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to analyze or evaluate a specific pattern, often in scientific or technical discussions.
Example: "In this study, we will assay the pattern of gene expression in response to the treatment."
Alternatives: "analyze the pattern of" or "evaluate the pattern of".
We further assayed the pattern of Runx2 expression in comparison to Pdgfra, Id1, and Id3 in the E13.5 palate, finding shared domains of expression and exclusion in the palate.
Specific primers for qPCR were designed, in which the reverse primer annealed to the putative not processed intron (Additional file 1 Figure S1), allowing us to analyze the possibility of its retention and to assay the expression pattern of GhGDRP85 gene without interference from the other homologue mRNAs that share high sequence identity.
A reporter fusion was constructed to assay the expression pattern of the annotated ceh-19a transcript, supported by the single EST Z11795 and SAGE tags for exon 1 (Naito et al., 1992).
Additional file 1: Table S7 shows demographic aging parameters for each PQ treatment and assay, the patterns of which closely matched those of mean lifespan for this study.
Nevertheless, obesity (waist-to-hip ratio) was associated with all four cytokines assayed, and the pattern of cytokine changes differed according to diabetes type.
To assay the expression patterns of seven maize NAC genes (tc258020, Zm017452, Zm029753, Zm020717, Zm020987, Zm4253255028 and Zm390255026) containing the miR164 complementary site, six maize tissues from the roots, leaves, leaf sheaths, male spikes, ears and stems were used for real-time PCR.
To test the hypothesis that the expression of the imprinted genes became more restricted after gene duplication, we reconstructed its ancestral expression profile by assaying the expression pattern of orthologs in Carica and Vitis.
We assayed the expression pattern of one ZIM transcription factor (At3g17860) by qRT-PCR and confirmed that it is induced after 6 h of NaCl, although the transcript abundance falls off rapidly after 24 h and 48 h (Table 1).
To assay the expression pattern produced by an intersection of two enhancers, we visualized GAL4 activity in the progeny of a cross between a line expressing p65ADZp under one enhancer and a line expressing ZpGAL4DBD under the other enhancer.
Then semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis was performed to assay the tissue expression pattern of TCD10.
